EDINBURGH, November 12, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Scottish Archbishop Mario Conti wrote an article for the Sunday Herald for Remembrance Day, which in addition to honoring the memory of fallen soldiers, recalled the babies killed by abortion. "This weekend we will stand in sad tribute to generations of men and women wiped out in the carnage of war. It is good that we remember Scotland's lost generations in this way. However, I cannot refrain from pointing out that another loss continues, every day of the week in our land, a sacrifice of silent victims. The victims of abortion," began the Archbishop's column.
The column also drew attention to the growing problem of underpopulation looming over the country. "So when the Executive wrings its hands about the ticking demographic timebomb, perhaps the spotlight needs to be trained on the reality of why fewer and fewer Scots are being born: the decline in live births."
He concluded, "So while we recall with pride the lost generations sacrificed in conflicts of the last century on this Remembrance Sunday, at the same time we should recall - this time with shame - the silent holocaust of Scotland's children, whose names will never appear on any memorial, but whose loss will continue to be felt in the years ahead."
